Gene Implicated in Rare Form of Hereditary Anemia
Researchers studying the genetic basis for a rare type of hereditary anemia have identified a 28-exon gene on chromosome 15 that codes for a glycosylated protein, which may be involved in nuclear envelope integrity and possibly related to microtubule attachments. More...06 Jan 2003
Activated Platelets Promote Formation of Atherosclerotic Lesions
Researchers working with a genetically engineered line of apolipoprotein-E–deficient mice have found that in these animals circulating activated platelets and platelet–leukocyte/monocyte aggregates promoted formation of atherosclerotic lesions More...06 Jan 2003
Personalized Vaccine in New Leukemia Treatment
An ongoing pilot study of a personalized heat shock protein in combination with Gleevec (imatinib mesylate) for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has shown that five out of five evaluable patients showed objective clinical responses More...02 Jan 2003
